RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

It has a very refined bouquet with honeysuckle, warm gravel, a touch of fennel and sage. The palate is beautifully balanced, effortless and refined, understated at first but delivering a very succinct, desiccated orange peel and fennel-tinged finish.

91Wine Spectator

Lush, with mango, quince and Cavaillon melon flavors gilded with heather honey hints and carried by a long, flowing finish that presents a lingering chamomile note.

91Wine Enthusiast

This rich and seductive pour leads with intense aromas of buttered toast, candied nuts, honeydew and grilled peach, with a touch of orangy citrus. The medium-weight mouthfeel is plush yet balanced by medium acidity that lends nice vibrancy to the mouthfeel and spicy finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Easy, charming and dense flavours with honey (though not sweetness) and herbs.

TYPE

White Wine, Chenin Blanc

This light-bodied white wine grape has zest and versatility depending on its style. It is grown extensively in South Africa, where wineries produce dry wines. Traditional French Chenin Blancs are sweet. It is closest to Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc.
